What does our world look like when the climate crisis is no longer a problem we will deal with in the future, but a problem we are solving in the present?

Halcyon, an artist collective based in Midcoast Maine, in collaboration with singer/songwriter Alisa Amador present The Future is Here: a multimedia performance featuring the stories and actions of Maine people who are working on the ground to build creative, regenerative, and resilient communities in response to the climate crisis.

Combining live music with film, community voices, and stop-motion animations, The Future is Here celebrates the ingenuity within our communities through a series of vignettes that tell stories of the concrete actions being taken to mitigate the climate crisis and build communities that are more equal, more sustainable, and more open.

This free program is provided in partnership with the Opera House, Boothbay Region Land Trust, Boothbay Region Clean Drinking Water Initiative, Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, Boothbay Sea & Science Center, Sunrise Ecologic and the Boothbay Region Climate Action Committee.

This program is free. Doors for seating open at 6:30pm. The length of program is approximately 1 hour.

Join us for Trail Tuesdays with the Boothbay Region Land Trust! Every Tuesday at 10 AM, we’ll gather at a different BRLT trailhead for a leisurely 1–2 mile hike, allowing plenty of time to soak in the scenery and marvel at nature along the way. Led by a naturalist, our walks include occasional stops to share fascinating insights into each preserve’s ecology, including its diverse plant and animal life.

No need to worry about advanced registration—simply lace up your sturdy hiking shoes, bring water, and meet us at the parking lot kiosk. Trail conditions vary by preserve and may include uneven terrain, roots, rocks, hills, or wet areas, so please come prepared and choose footwear appropriate for the trail. To help ensure an enjoyable experience for everyone and to protect the wildlife we encounter, please leave dogs at home.

In the event of inclement weather, cancellations will be posted on the BRLT website 24 hours in advance. Come for one hike or join us for the entire series—we look forward to seeing you on Trail Tuesdays!

This week’s hike is at Singing Meadows Preserve:
